More hospitals to be investigated over Jimmy Savile allegations

A further 19 hospitals are to be investigated over their links to allegations of sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile, the health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has
said.

The move takes the number of hospitals under investigation to 32. Savile, who died in 2011 aged 84, is believed to have abused hundreds of children.
He had a bedroom at Stoke Mandeville hospital, an office and living quarters at Broadmoor, and widespread access to Leeds General Infirmary. All three
of those hospitals were among the 13 previously announced to be under investigation.

They have had time, I agree, but they might also think that it's kinda safe now after a wee bit of time, and this is the kind of stuff what would be
in any file. There will be plenty people who witnessed what he did, and sadly experienced it first hand, I'm sure, so as much noise needs to be made
about this as possible. It can't be ignored just because he is gone. The investigation won't be complete until everything he did has been exposed,
and ever victim has had some kind of closure.

I hope they can get something out of the investigation, and I think a lot more needs to be done. I would like to see investigations into the care
homes too. Not just the one's he visited but also the ones that his associates visited.

I don't have much faith though, people in positions of power will hide as much as they can.

I don't think there are any plans to investigate care homes in relation to people in alleged positions of power. I might be wrong, but I think its
just operation yewtree. Maybe someone knows a bit more?

To be honest I really think that while this excuse for a man was alive they would not lay a finger on him because of all the dirty secrets he had on
some people at the very top of the power ladder in the U.K.

Now he is dead they are using him as a public relations clean up op. He is "the guilty one" who cannot speak the names they so feared him speaking
from the grave.

The only justice here is that his name be known for the crimes he committed.

I saw Jimmy Saville on a cookery programme a few years ago. He was dining alone, although there were other 'couples' dining around the room at
separate tables. I cant remember what the programme was called. Anyway I was astonished by his lack of table manners. Eating with his mouth open,
grunting loudly. I had never seen anything like it. It was disgusting What puzzled me was why they chose to include him in the programme in the first
place or why wasn't it edited? Was he subtly being exposed for his arrogance? To any normal human being it was quite clear Saville wasn't normal
by any stretch of the imagination!!

He never was....he's a very clever man who unfortunately on two occasions got scammed and lead astray by the powers that be in order to misdirect
him.

I still do not understand what good all this does now with regards to Jimmy Saville. It seems to be just celebrity gossip mongering and drama. Further
I don't understand why all these people he abused (or allegedly abused) want to rake it all up now after all these years and go through all the
emotional trauma all over again. Surely most of these people have got on with their lives and put it behind them since they never did anything about
it at the time. Also how on earth do the police etc go about proving such allegations after such a length of time? Its not as if there would be dna
and its simply one persons word against...well..a dead man basically. I'm unclear as to how they can build any kind of case. There must be so many
people trying to get in on it for their 5 mins of fame and who is to say they didnt get abused? Must be a nightmare

I think it's all about closure for the victims. No matter how much time has passed, it doesn't help much if there is recognition of the fact that
they were victims, and most of his victims were children, which makes it even harder for them to deal with. I bet most of them still keep it a secret.
Closure is a big part of the healing process...vital, I would say. The police will be able to spot from so many statements who is a genuine victim and
who is not. There will be huge correlation between experiences, and a pattern and habits, even words used, will become obvious.

With regards to David Icke, I'm curious about what you mean when you say he was misdirected, and by whom. I like to listen to him and find most of
what he says to be something I can take on, but certain topics I just can't get my head round and accept as truth, no matter how convincing he is.
This is the second time I've heard this theory of misinformation connected to him, and I'm curious to know more. At least it seems he was bang on
about Saville though.

I know that certain events involving a psychic (not the original woman who got David on the path) and another couple a man & woman, lead him down the
garden path with fake stories and the like to the point where he was almost bankrupt marriage falling apart (his 1st marriage I believe it was) and he
had a break down, despite his wife warning him about this man & woman they became an integral part of his life for a while and all his energy was
spent on researching what they were telling him. I believe he discovered they were working for a government agency but can't remember which one and
it was all a pack of lies which kinda broke him for a while. He spent a lot of money and time trying to "protect" this woman only to discover it was
all part of some plan to make him look in a different direction and then publicise his "findings" to make him look like a lunatic.

The Roayl Family weren't the only ones that Savile was socialising with. In fact, he was socialising with a lot of people whom you could consider to
be 'celebrities' - local, national, international.

It's the local celebrities we should concentrate our efforts on. The exposure of these people are what will make this whole sordid network collapse.

The 'little' people at the bottom of the 'celebrity' ladder, are the ones that would be best placed to be in the know, and most vulnerable to
being exposed. They aren't as well protected as the likes of Savile - who was at the 'top of his game' in a proverbial sense (I don't say that
lightly, or in jest).

Celebrities just starting out, or the 'local' ones have everything to lose, but in the eyes of those at the top, are 'expendable'. As a result
these are the ones who are most vulnerable.

I have worked for years to expose people like Savile and his friends. Savile, towards the end of his life, lived in a place called Scarborough, in
North Yorkshire, on the North East Coast of England. But had spent many a year visiting the town, and staying there with 'local celebrities'. He
seemingly enjoyed the company of a former Mayor of the town - one Peter Jaconelli, who was also a local business owner. Another man, Jimmy Corrigan,
owned an amusement arcade on the sea front, where children and families were regular customers, and could be easy targets. These three men were close
friends.

They seemed to enjoy the protection of the local police. One of the senior police constables for the town became the leader of the local Council, and
is the leader of that council to this very day.

The question is, how can these men be so well protected... because the Police protect them.

FYI - I have helped to contibute to the site linked above in the past. It's worth a read, if only to get more context about how far this network
extends...

The most frightnening part of this sordid saga is that it isn't just restricted to the UK, but the 'paedophile network' Savile seems to have been
associated with operated internationally. Seemingly with impunity. The question is, how can such a network exist, and get away with such terrible
crimes for such a long time? How can these people be so well protected? The answer is obvious... but I'll leave it to you to decide.

I personally know someone who was subjected to sexual abuse by Savile. The lady in question was merely 15 at the time this took place, and was a
waitress in a cafe in one of the towns that Savile is linked to. Whilst going about her job, he harrassed this lady verbally, and touched her
inappropriately on more than a few occasions - making suggestions that he could 'show her a good time'. This was twenty-five years ago - at a time
when Savile would have been more than old enough to be her grandfather!

She never came forward, because it was common knowledge that the police were receiving reports of this sort of conduct (and worse), then disregarding
it. She felt that even if she reported it, nothing would come of it, and it seems, she was right.

Why would you report something when you have the might of the state (via the Police) against you. The reputation of a famous television celebrity,
known widely for his charitable work, would have seemed invincible and untouchable - especially when faced with the plethora of rumours of people who
had reported similar cases of sexual abuse, and has those reports to the Police dismissed as 'crazy' or 'untrue'.

Savile and his friend Jaconelli were involved in a local martial arts club in the 70's that was shut down after allegations of sexual abuse against
boys. But nothing has been investigate about this. Nothing has been mentioned in the media - it's common knowledge, and I am aware that people have
spoken to the media about this. It seems that not all facts pertinent to the case are being reported - or at least they haven't managed to get around
to it yet.

They've just had a piece on BBC R4 about him that touched on his fascination with dead bodies, and allegations that he "interfered" with bodies in
the morgue.

Words fail me to describe how disgusting and shocking this is. Like others, I find it hard to understand how this all got covered up for so long. Also
what I find interesting is that the BBC and other news outlets aren't using the word "allegedly" around his crimes, like they carefully do with
others. This was pretty much as soon as victims started coming forward, and seems to suggest that loads of people in the media already knew, and it's
all just sort of being confirmed.

OT Really glad they got Max Clifford too. Always remember him on a Louis Theroux programme and he was creepy and sleazy.
